Can one choose to violate the law of gravity?

I'll give you ten to one odds that subby will deny the existence of gravity.

as an architect i recognize gravity in most everything i do.

philosophically speaking one must recognize that science insist that the effect of a thing be separate from a thing....
in other words, the effect of something is not the something.

you really should get out more and enjoy this wonderful world of knowledge, ideas, people, places, and things.

A Scientist Takes On Gravity
So says Erik Verlinde, 48, a respected string theorist and professor of physics at the University of Amsterdam, whose contention that gravity is indeed an illusion has caused a continuing ruckus among physicists, or at least among those who profess to understand it. Reversing the logic of 300 years of science, he argued in a recent paper, titled “On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton,” that gravity is a consequence of the venerable laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of heat and gases.

"God" is a jealous god.

Makes perfect sense to me.


God tells Abraham to kill his only son Isaac. He took Isaac to the mountain, tied him up and placed him on an alter. Just before he killed him, God said "Hey, just kidding. This was a test and only a test. Pretty funny, huh?".

Gotta love God's sense of humor.

Yes, these are all examples of god's wry and quirky sense of humor.

Here's another one.

God loves you. He loves you so much he created Hell just in case you don't love him back.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Just as I predicted. Subby denies the existence of gravity.

One of my favorites from "The best of God" comedy album.

"You all have free will. Of course, if you don't do everything just I ask, you will spend eternity in agony, burning in Hell. It's completely up to you".

I like to call it God's mafia joke. Make them an offer they can't refuse.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Okay, here's another one.

After the Great Flood, god repents and promises never to wipe out humanity again...with a flood. In the future he'll use some other, equally horrible method.

Yay god!

Correction...as predicted TEA thinks something occurred that did not occur, all the while remaining oblivious of TEA's own hypocrisy.
